England captain sits on the International Cricket Council’s cricket committee, which is due to meet at the end of March to continue a debate over whether fixtures in the World Test Championship should be crunched down to four 98-over days across the board from 2023 onwards. The panel, chaired by Anil Kumble, will offer its recommendation to the world governing body’s executive committee, with such a significant change likely to also require sign-off from the full ICC board before being implemented.
